Dr. Kia Silva, Atlanta Prosper Psychological Services

I often feel a twinge of disappointment when flowers start to die. I know it’s inevitable, but some part of me is resistant to the end of stages. The petals in my palm caught my attention. They refused to be pitied or mourned, still brilliantly purple as they drifted away from their stem. I felt like they were speaking to me. Message: Pausing to reflect and observe change (without the blinders of fear and judgment) presents an opportunity to notice the beauty of each transition. Life is meant to be cyclical. An attitude of abundance allows the release of what is no longer meant for the present moment. Create space for the beauty that is blooming today! #present #reflection #acceptance #surrender #abundance #life #cycle #infinity #purple #energy

Sunday voting is everything! Handled in under 15mins! I would’ve waited all day, but I’m happy I didn’t have to this time! #vote #makeaplan #maskon #ivoted #prohumanrights #proequality #projustice

Representation matters! #queenwithacrown #nodebate #letsalldobetter

Guffawed, cried, hollered?? Idk what the right word is but laughed doesn’t capture my reaction to this one! I believe that affirmations are most powerful when they’re genuine & compatible with your vibe! My friends know this one (courtesy of @juviethegreat) is alll me! #Ha ?! I swear I’m so thankful for fellow therapists who share this stuff & CLEARLY share my sense of humor! What’s something you can do or say today (to self or others) that’s both honest & helpful? #affirmyourself #youknowwhatitis #iknowyoucandoit #gogetit #youapaperchaser #iseeyou #makinnothinoutofsomthin or #sumthinouttanothin #iappreciateyou #keepflowing

#Day4 Sending love to the universe from the confines of my comfy couch. Although I’d love to be a ray of sunshine who remains mindful in every situation...I’m not! I definitely have sleepwalking, entitled, complaining moments damn near every day (& sometimes WHOLE days) that don’t exactly highlight my strengths! I’m growing, hopefully everyday I’m alive, & let’s be real, growth can be kinda messy right?? I think I felt some roots growing today! #coveredindirt So cheers to this long, humbling, grounding day courtesy of one of my two favorite numbers... #4 #love #myroots #likeatree #grounded #home #still #checkingmyself #cuzhonestly #ifidont #whogoncheckmeboo ?

#Day3 Happy Monday to all! I felt such gratitude for my work (for lack of a better word) today. Everyday I get reminders that positive energy & good intentions are alive & well. I give empathy & in return I get hope. Never underestimate the healing properties of genuine expression. The power to change this world exists within all of us! #callingallhealers #iseeyou #grateful #purposeful #insightful #mindful #joyful #alive

Instagram fam (& Facebook)...have we discussed ADHD yet? Let’s talk. Some of the most energetic, creative, strong willed, & optimistic souls meet criteria (If I do say so myself ). Please understand that in the right environment we THRIVE & shine & live life to the absolute fullest! But you know what is NOT ideal for someone with ADHD? Quarantine life. It is not fun. I do not like it. I’m an introvert to my core, so less ppl is good ppl, but no cuddles from #TeamSilva & ...not being able to move around freely in my HOME?!? #nobueno #swoon #clutchthepearls #godhelpusall So I’m outside coming up with random stuff to do in solidarity with all my restless souls & ppl who have been super careful and STILL ended up stuck in a corner with no other humans! Good news is my little friend (who may or may not be the same little guy who interrupted my telehealth session last week ) kept me company while I put these chairs together! #Day2 #Project1 #adirondackchair #backyarddesign #success #undefeated #quarantinequeen #Adhd #creative #energy #flow #2020 #also #irepresent #steelersnation #terribletowelonly #justsowereclear #thejerseyisfrommysonsoldteam See more

I don’t always quarantine, but when I do...I wear purple! Today has been all about making the best of the 2020 blahs! Optimism doesn’t mean denial or suppression. For me it means (with my eyes & heart wide open) I will show up when it’s time to, fight when I need to, & smile when I want to! #day1 #present #strong #joyful #ready #colorenergy #purple #reign #purplepalace #glowing #flowing #growing #peaceful #grounded #likeatree #atlprosper #2020 #iamhere #youarehere #weareinthistogether

This right here... speaks straight to my soul @blackfemaletherapists !! #selective #intentional #mindful #free #time #goodenergy

My son saw this pic & laughed; he asked why I take so many pics of people (mostly my sons) walking away. I’m not totally sure why I love this angle, but there’s something so sweet & optimistic about watching them embark on a new path. Seeing my loves ahead of me is a reminder that life will go on long after my journey ends. True definition of #eternallife ! Our lives are fleeting, but our imprint on this world lasts for always. Our energy matters. Our intentions, our thoughts, our actions...they matter. We can’t freeze time, but we can absolutely appreciate it! #cherishtheday #allday #everysinglestep #life #energy #love #legacy #hope
